Zipper, an insanely simple zipfile creator for node.js.
Earlier this week I needed a way to create zip files with node.js. I was shocked to find out that no such thing exists (prove me wrong interwebs!). Some hacks later, zipper was born:

Zipper has an API that consists of one method:
addFile(name, path, callback)
This method simply adds a file to your chosen zipfile, using an asynchronous operation. Full example:
zipper = require('zipper').Zipper;
var zipfile = new zipper('/path/to/my/zipfile.zip');
zipfile.addFile('myfile.txt', '/path/to/myfile.txt', function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
// Do stuff
});
Zipper is available on Github: https://github.com/rubenv/zipper
Or through npm: npm install zipper
